Engineers at MIT and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have designed a completely new heat engine with no moving parts that is more efficient than a steam turbine. At least, that’s what they demonstrated in their demonstrations that this engine converts heat into electricity with over 40 percent efficiency. The scientists behind the new…
A team of scientists from the University of California decided to target the high and ever increasing energy consumption of computers. Solution? Revolutionizing tiny electrical switches that are the building blocks of every logical circuit in a computer. New gates in transistors, i.e. reducing the power consumption of computers at your fingertips Currently, processors are…
Scientists are constantly developing the so-called MOST technology, which stands for MOlecular Solar Thermal, which is an innovative energy system. It is a practically liquid solar energy store that can store energy for up to 18 years, and if necessary, restore energy using a special catalyst. Scientists are constantly developing a Fluid solar energy store…
An experimental solar water filter has just been created, which can significantly improve the condition of water resources in places with abundant access to fresh but polluted water. All because this solar water filter destroys all pathogens, using only natural resources. A solar water filter has been created with great potential The prototype device was…
Currently, the segment of energy storage is in an interesting place, because, in a way, at crossroads. It is extremely prone to revolutions and setting new standards on the basis of a number of potential solutions that have already been proposed and which are constantly evolving so that in the future the problem of energy…
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University conducted tests of their new material on the basis of a network of elastic polymers in the liquid crystal phase, after which they were “very pleased with the results of the research”. It all boils down to its ability to absorb energy while providing a great weight-to-strength ratio. This new…
The European Commission, or more precisely its president, absolutely pointed to the energy problem in Europe – too much dependence on Russia. A plan was then presented at the meeting, which clearly shows that Russia’s aggression has accelerated the transition to renewable energy in Europe, although we will wait for more details. We are to…
While the future looks like a battery pack other than lithium-ion in the energy storage industry, Tesla has been doing a great job in this field for years. While our thoughts are more focused on batteries made of iron, salt and water lately, there is still a long way to go, while Alaska just got…
A few days ago, we described how solar panels on water channels can not only provide enormous amounts of energy, but also prevent water from evaporating. Today we have another example of such a “dual” application of this one of the most popular ways of obtaining energy from renewable energy, because Kenya is testing solar…
The Novoo company offers several power banks, among them the 296Wh model is proud to be called the “portable power station”. Over the last few days, we had the pleasure to test it for you in practice, so now we have nothing else to do but invite you to the Novoo 296Wh test, which offers…
